Look at those colours! What I love about salads is not only are they healthy and super pretty with all the vibrant colours but they also provide such an amazing crunch. If you have been following my recent posts, you would know that I have been on a salad spree. Since salads are great for a light meal, this Greek salad, Soba noodle salad with Asian dressing , Watermelon and tomato salad and Mango salad with mango-mint dressing have been appearing on our table on rotation these days.

I must say that my most favourite part about this salad is spicy candied walnuts which jus...

Manish always gets elated when I cook Indian dishes, especially the ones which cater to his palate. Tikka more popularly famous as Paneer Tikka or Chicken Tikka is made from chunks of paneer, chicken or vegetables marinated in lush youghurt mixed with spices and then grilled in the oven to perfection. It is sprinkled with chaat maasala and lemon juice and thereafter served with coriander or mint chutney alongside some fresh crunchy salad. It can also be scooped into flatbreads and topped with salad and dip for a full meal. Vegetable tikka gets its gorgeous bright orange colour from yoghurt based marinade. Dried red chillies are soaked in warm water and turned into a paste by adding ginger and garlic. This red paste is mixed in thick and creamy yoghurt along with some other s...
